  1. Is there any way to tell from slabbed copies?
  2. Excellent question. They should be back in about two hours to post the latest message advertising free wireless, discount drugs or sneakers.
  3. Actually that box was formed over a long period of time and has gradually gotten bigger in order to fit the contents it was to carry. Adams' has named this his Expanding Box theory...
  4. If Lego asks me to take these down then I will as they have not been officially presented to the public. Force Awakens sets. Do you really want to know who is in which set and additional character names? This is kind of a spoiler. Do you really want to know which characters have screen time enough with Han Solo and actually fly the Falcon to be included in the set?
  5. 1 - I have never bought a mystery box from Shadroch or Comicalgems. 2 - I have no problem with mystery boxes being sold on the forum. It is a moot point because they are banned but here is why. If you bought a pack of baseball cards, then you bought a mystery box. If you bought a blind bag figure like the lego guys, then you bought a mystery box. Need I go on? In fact, the blind bag concept for toys is becoming huge. Blind Bags are becoming popular and are a variation of the mystery box. In this box you are guaranteed to get 1 out of the 16 listed minifigures. You do not know which one, and they are unevenly packed. Still the buyer has the option not to buy it. It is up to the buyer. Some are obviously going to be worth more than others but that is the way it is.
  6. Submitted two orders on 6/7 Order 1 Marked Received on 6/10 Order 2 Marked Received on 6/12 Status as of 7/22: Received. I am a patient guy. I did not expect these back until around November / December.
  7. Been listing items in: Plastic Crack IV I have listed Modern GI Joe, Star Wars, Transformers, Marvel Universe, Lego and a couple of other odds and ends. There is more, too much more, to come including, smaller display cases, more Transformers, maybe more Lego, an AFA graded loose Star Wars figure, a couple of Disney coffee cups that have never been used and more. So far a Vintage reproduction SW rocket firing Boba Fett figure (made by Hasbro) has sold along with some Lego Simpsons figures and a Lego polybag. Come on in and check it out.
  8. It's almost as bad as the guy that faked his father's death to get out of shipping some comics. Almost. Even worse are the people that continued, and may still, deal with that person because he has cool foreign bomics.
  9. It doesn't have to always be comics does it? I priced the pieces out on bricklink to see if it was easier to buy/source the parts separately. It was cheaper to buy the custom figure on eBay.
  10. Still no news on the Dr Jones front...
  11. I have a 9.6 and a 9.4. Perhaps I will put one of them up for sale on eBay and capitalize on the fervor.
  12. I bought a mid grade Hulk 181 for $50 in the early 90's. I remember the price because I remember being yelled screamed at for it as if I bought a handful of magic beans.
  13. I had a guy withdraw a bid at the last second which was annoying. I messaged him after the listing ended as I gave him the benefit of the doubt as it was possible that because he was the sole bidder he didn't want to compete with himself or show his hand and would place a last minute bid at the end. No bid, no reply so perhaps I will block him. A shame too since he had over 5,000 +'s.
  14. It sounds like they have made several revisions once they started production in order to acquiesce to the public perception of the characters. The real problem may be that the original vision, combined with the revisions make for an even more disastrous movie. I really have no faith in this project. I always said I would reserve critique until I knew and saw more. I think I have seen enough. I will wait until this pops up on Netflix or TV. To tell the truth, I still have not seen Amazing Spider-man as word of mouth on that was so bad amongst those that I know who actually saw it.
